  • Page 2: Power Switch (1) (Emg-Fail Safe Operation)

    When the unit is turned off, either by pressing the volume control, or if the breaker is pulled removing power, the PMA8000BT is in Fail-Safe mode. In this mode, the pilot’s headset is connected to COM 1 for transmit and re- ceive, and connected to unswitched input #1 for priority audio alerts.

    When a com is selected for receive, it will stay selected until manually deselected, even if you select, and then deselect its transmitter. Unless the audio panel is in “split” mode, the PMA8000BT gives priority to the pilot’s radio Push-To-Talk (PTT).
